An effective power of a combination of \(5\) identical convex lenses which are kept in contact along the principal axis is \(25 \mathrm{D}\). Focal length of each of the convex lens is _______.

  1. A \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C \(500 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  4. D  \(25 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { We know that } P_{e q}=\Sigma P_i\) \(\therefore \text { given all lenses are identical }\) \(\therefore 5 P=25 D\) \(\therefore P=5 D\) \(\therefore \frac{1}{f}=5 \Rightarrow f=\frac{1}{5} \mathrm{~m}=20 \mathrm{~cm}\) Hence option \((1)\)
